Methodology

Each row in the Hiring Index covers every job listing on Finjobsly with status “active” or “published” that has not expired: expiry is an explicit expiry date if the listing has one, otherwise 30 days after the later of its posted date or the date it was last reconfirmed live. A cron job recomputes and overwrites the current month’s row daily; once a new month starts, the previous month’s row is marked locked and is never written to again.

Remote/hybrid/onsite mix and seniority are read directly from each listing’s structured location and seniority fields. Salary disclosure rate counts listings with either a minimum or maximum pay value set. Sub-vertical mix is computed with the same keyword-classification logic used on Finjobsly’s category pages (e.g. /fintech-jobs, /ai-finance-jobs), applied only to listings with an enriched description — so the sum of sub-vertical counts can be less than the total active count, and a listing can appear in more than one sub-vertical.

No figure on this page is estimated, modelled, or sourced from a third party: every number is a direct count over Finjobsly’s own live listings at the time the row was last computed (14 October 2026). Full detail on job origination, deduplication, normalization and sample thresholds is at /research/methodology.
